Oh yeah, that is a probation violation for BOTH of them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to court documents, the FBI photographed Ali Shukri Amin meeting with Lindh on three different occasions in 2021 for about three hours. The document does not state where the meetings occurred. The meetings violate a condition of Amin&#8217;s supervised release, which bars him from meeting with known extremists, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>The meetings also could have constituted a violation of Lindh&#8217;s supervised release when they occurred, but now Lindh is no longer subject to supervision, as his term of supervised release expired last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note that Lindh, while off supervision, is still barred from meeting with extremists. Extremist?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The court documents show, though, that authorities had reason to be concerned about Amin beyond his meetings with Lindh. Amin, who lives in Dumfries, is also accused of corresponding online with a British individual described as a \u201cknown extremist\u201d until that person was arrested in February 2022 by British authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In his conversations with the British individual, authorities say Amin provided guidance related to the teachings of two Islamic preachers considered extremists by the FBI, according to the court document.<\/p>\n<p>The document also accuses Amin of using a virtual private network to conceal his online activity and evade the supervision of his parole officer.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/meetings-lindh-prompt-move-revoke-162251026.html\">AP via Yahoo<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>****************************************<\/p>\n<p>Remember that funding to Wuhan which was strictly supervised and was never used for gain-of-function research? A new report drags the National Institute of Health (NIH) over the coals for total failure to monitor what the Chicoms were doing with our money:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The report is evidence of \u201cmajor failures in past NIH oversight of high-risk research on enhanced potential pandemic pathogens,\u201d Rutgers molecular biologist Richard Ebright told Yahoo News in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Issued by the inspector general of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, the new report says nothing about the origins of the coronavirus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They do say the funding, from NIH through Eco-Health Alliance,\u00a0 was prior to the outbreak of Covid&#8230; which makes sense, since if it took place AFTER it wouldn&#8217;t have affected Covid, right?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But it does note that the American organization in question, the EcoHealth Alliance, should have been more rigorously scrutinized by federal officials regarding assurances that its partner lab in Wuhan was not using U.S. funds to conduct gain-of-function research, which boosts viruses to study how they might evolve in nature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire picture starts to look extremely disconcerting,\u201d mathematical biologist Alex Washburne told Yahoo News. He said that a project on coronaviruses originating in bats, for which the EcoHealth Alliance had given a grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, \u201cwas clearly gain-of-function research.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For anyone who hasn&#8217;t paid attention, &#8220;gain-of-function&#8221; refers to making a disease more communicable &#8211; or more lethal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Politics aside, Wednesday\u2019s report raises important questions about how federal funds are monitored when they flow to foreign governments and organizations. Though the context is different, similar questions have been asked about the billions of dollars in U.S. military and civilian support to Ukraine.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/extremely-disconcerting-nih-didnt-track-us-funds-going-to-chinese-virus-research-watchdog-finds-004808475.html\">Yahoo<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Much more to read in the article, and it ain&#8217;t pretty.
